Panicking food part 2
...Where was I...oh yes thinking what chocolate treat to prepare. I opened my chocolate cook book and found a truffle recipe. I've been obsessed with truffles lately, I don't know why.
The ingredients were: half a cup heavy cream, 300g chocolate preferably dark, two spoons strong tea(earl gray or any other flavoured tea) 100g butter and the secret ingredient I did not have...oh yes and a copy of Shakespear's Macbeth
I brought the heavy cream to the boil added the chocolate and stirred so far so good. I added the tea and started stirring and reading Macbeth, I was reading the three witches scene-so as I was stirring I chanted
Double double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble...
It was probably at this point when something went wrong with the recipe... two stirs colckwise and three stirs counterclockwise..or was it the other way around...hmmm..
Anyway, I put the mixture in the fridge and continued reading Macbeth, eventually i fell asleep and woke up the following morning. When I opened the fridge the mixture was still pretty liquid. I decided to go and get some fresh air and sort out my feelings thoughts and panic. It seemed like my emotions were contageous and the chocolate got some of my germs. When I got back home I decided to set things right. So I took some of the mixture and put it in the freezer. After some time took it out made some melting truffles covered them in cocoa and back in the freezer. I added some breadcrumbs to another part of the ruined mixture formed a dough and rolled the dough in brandy and powdered sugar. I left the third part in the pan asked my cousin to get some biscuits on her way home and served it as chocolate spread.
At the end of the day the moral of the story was Don't panic, thigs have their own way of sorting out if you can't sort them out yourself. The sad thing was I couldn't taste any of the chocolate I had prepared
